“We feel so very fortunate to have had Joe and his wife Bonnie care for our 13 year old Westie, Ozzy, for 9 days. They sent updates and pictures and made us feel comfortable and confident that Oz was in great hands during this extended stay. They are true dog lovers and our sweet Oz had a very nice stay with them. Thanks so much Joe and Bonnie!”

“Traci is an amazing bonus mom to my fur baby. She is very attentive and gives me lots of updates that I appreciate when I'm traveling. She has a big clean house and yard for lots of running fun and tag games with resident pup Chewy. I really recommend Traci as a boarder, my pup adores her and runs into her and every time.”

“It was our first time booking with Ryan for a two-night stay for our dog, Penny. He provided daily updates with pictures and a video and it was so wonderful to see how she was doing. Upon returning home, Penny was well-adjusted and immediately settled into her routine. We can't thank Ryan enough for making us feel secure knowing that Penny was being well taken care of. He is a fantastic pet sitter and we can't wait to book with him again in the future!”

“Melissa & Dan took great care of Bowser and were very understanding of his nervousness when a storm came through. They kept me updated on Bowser throughout his stay, and Bowser played well with their dogs. I highly recommend using them!”


“Kathleen took great care of our 11 year old dog Luke! She provided us with updates and pictures daily. We felt very comfortable while away and will definitely us her for future needs.”

“Mary was an incredible sitter. She shared daily updates, photos and videos so I was assured that my dog, Lyle, was not only being cared for, but being spoiled! Lyle got multiple daily walks, special treats, toys, and ample snuggles. I cannot recommend Mary and her husband enough! Can’t wait to rebook with them next time we need care for our sweet boy!”

About: I started to fully take care of dogs in 2022, I got my first dog as an adult. He was a reactive Coonhound that only really bounded with me. Unfortunately, two years after we got him, he got cancer. Now we own 2 high energy, loves everybody puppies. So I know how to handle reactive dogs, sick dogs, high energy, lazy, everywhere in between. I work from home and have a flex schedule. So I am pretty accommodating to whatever time you need to drop your dogs off. I do travel sometimes throughout the year but for a majority im in the area. I have a a fenced yard and two friendly dogs. They love to play and make new friends. I will walk them and play with them outside. I also have playpens, so if your dog needs a little place of their own, I can make that happen.
“Mike and Lorraine took such great care of Van while we were away! We were nervous using Rover for the first time and they really put us at ease. We loved the picture updates and kind feedback throughout the stay. Will definitely hope to book with them for future trips.”

“Olive and her family took excellent care of our dog during our vacation. This was the first time we have left our dog (current or previous) with someone other than family. The experience was first class. I would not hesitate to recommend Olive and we will definitely use her again.”

“Davina and her family were so good to Arnie I was afraid he may not come home! Very proactive and responsive communication and pictures so you know your fur baby is happy! She even made homemade doggy treats and personalized each dog’s initial! Beyond exemplary!”

“Exactly what we were hoping for our two dogs. Rebecca was great at keeping us updated and sending pictures of them. The dogs looked like they had a blast during their stay and we would definitely have Rebecca watch our dogs again and recommend her to others.”


“Nothing but wonderful things to say! We had never boarded our 12 year old Boston Terrier before and were very nervous about leaving her for almost a whole week. Monica took such wonderful care of her! She was very responsive to messages and sent us pictures and updates; Moxie settled in quickly and was very happy throughout her stay! Highly recommend Monica and her services. Will definitely rebook again in the future! Thank you, Monica!!”

“Lauren did a great job with Bruno! I can tell he enjoyed his stay very much! She sent photos and gave us updates on how he was doing. Bruno will definitely be back! Thanks again!”

“Buddy enjoyed his stay with Brin and was well taken care of. We received daily updates and pictures. We will be sure to use Brin the next time we need a dog sitter for our Buddy 🐾❤️”

“I can't thank Yuka and her boys enough for taking such great care of Benni!! It was very difficult to leave my Velcro dog for two weeks but it made all the difference knowing he was in good loving hands. Yuka checked in regularly and sent pictures allowing me to relax and not worry. It turns out Benni had a fun little vacation too. Yuka is such a lovely, caring, and responsible person I highly recommend her!”


“Kiara has watched our dog Clover several times, and has been amazing each time—Clover is actively excited when she realizes we’re bringing her to Kiara’s place, and seemed disappointed to be leaving her when we picked her up this most recent time. Thanks again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 3,409 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rushland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
93% of sitters in Rushland can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Rushland home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Rushland.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rushland. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Rushland sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in PA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
